Ready for liftoff<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

What one NASA director learned from the AI Federal Leadership Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

As the head of NASA\u2019s IT Procurement Office, <\/em>Sarah Pollock<\/em><\/a> manages a diverse portfolio that ensures that the world\u2019s preeminent space agency is equipped with the technology it needs to advance its mission, including computing hardware and software, mobile IT services and help-desk support, cybersecurity infrastructure, telecommunications and more. All told, she oversees annual contractual obligations worth roughly $700 million that support IT across NASA\u2019s 10 field centers, and helps set strategy for the <\/em>NASA Acquisition Innovation Launchpad<\/em><\/a>, or NAIL, a new online platform that seeks workforce and industry input to improve how NASA obtains critical products and services. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet these responsibilities, Pollock enrolled in the Partnership for Public Service\u2019s <\/em>AI Federal Leadership Program<\/em><\/a>, an initiative supported by Microsoft and Google that has to date prepared more than 200 senior executives across government to develop and consider AI solutions at their agencies. Below, she explains why the program appealed to her and how it has benefited her work at NASA. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.\u202f\u202f<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why did you join the AI Federal Leadership Program? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverybody has preconceived notions about what AI means. So I thought, \u2018What better way to get a from-the-horse’s-mouth-type of perspective about what AI actually is?\u2019 I wanted to use this knowledge to provide our procurement professionals with a set of best practices and innovations around AI.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How did the program help you advance AI at NASA? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was able to share what I learned with my leadership team to help advance some ideas. For example, the program had an applied learning component that required us to come up with an idea to implement at our agency, build upon that idea and create a full-fledged project plan. When I was enrolled, another colleague and I started to bounce ideas off each other regarding the use of bots and some other things within our office to leverage AI and machine learning. He ended up becoming the director of our Enterprise Services Analysis Division, which heads up the NASA Acquisition Innovation Launchpad. I shared my use project with him, and we have considered doing a pilot program\u2014hopefully working through the new platform.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why should others consider enrolling in the AI Federal Leadership Program?\u202f <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe program opened my eyes to what I thought I knew about AI and helped me gain more leverage in advancing it within NASA by seeking input or support from stakeholders. Given how pervasive AI is becoming, it is incredibly important to know the ins and outs, how it could benefit society, what the risks are and how to mitigate them. This program provides that.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
